Tasmanian tigers may have lived much later than previously believed – and there’s a teeny tiny chance some are alive today. That’s the conclusion Professor Barry Brook and his team at the University of Tasmania have come to after re-examining a database of 1,237 Tasmanian tiger sightings from 1910 and later, finding that extinction likely occurred within 4 decades of the last capture, so around the 1940s-70s.
